An 'eggciting' delivery!

Welcome back everyone, it was lovely to hear what you had been up to during the half term holiday.
On Monday we had a very special delivery of seven eggs. We predicted what type of eggs they might be; ideas included penguins and dragons, as well as chickens and ducks. By Tuesday afternoon small cracks had appeared in a couple of the eggs. The first two ducklings emerged safely on Wednesday morning, just after I had arrived. Two more hatched during the morning and by home time we had six ducklings, chirping away, wandering around their cage and then cuddling up together for a sleep. The seventh egg showed no signs of life. Fortunately, on Thursday morning a crack appeared and it hatched soon after. It has been a very special experience for us all to see the different stages and we have become very attached to them. Class 2 have never had so many visitors - teachers, children from other classes, office staff, and parents, popping in with messages, borrowing things, any 'eggscuse' (did you see what I did there?!) to see the gorgeous ducklings.
As you can imagine the ducklings have been our main focus this week but we have done some work too! - In English we have been performing poetry, including tongue twisters and nursery rhymes we changed to make funny. PE is on Mondays this half term and is Squash, led by Lexden Squash Club. We started this week by working on different movements needed to improve agility. In Maths, Year 2 have been rounding to the nearest 10 and using the signs < and >. Year 1 have been adding and subtracting 10 and multiples of 10.
Enjoy the photos of our babies!
